Will was a great guide who had energy and a sense of humor as well as excitement and a sense of humor for the Louvre. It was a very fun way to see the museum instead of wandering around hoping to see things!
Early into our tour the crown jewels were stolen! Everyone was safely evacuated. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Tour Guy fully refunded our tickets - without having to even ask. Exceptional service! THANK YOU!
